"I play
more from the heart since I started lessons with Frederick. He focuses on the bigger picture -
The overall effect the music has on the listener
and the smaller details fall into place naturally.
Frederick will perform with Dean Torrence (Jan and Dean) and the
Song of Angels Flute Orchestra in the upcoming "Home for the Brave" Concert at the Alexandra Nechita Center for the
Arts
Frederick
has helped me greatly with my dynamic range, my use of tone colors as well as my
embouchure.
I have
always struggled with getting a brighter sound that projects more, but with Frederick's guidance
and teaching, I'm playing the flute the way I've always wanted to, and I sound more and more refined each day!"
